Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for your girlfriend.
Based on the history given she seems to have developed a collection of blood (hematoma) or an abscess around the stitched wound.
She needs to be examined by her doctor and appropriate treatment like drainage of the abscess should be done.
Hope this will help her/.
